Thats easy cause they dont have to rise.Dixie Diner makes them or we can convert your favorite recipe.What would you like beebs?

[beebs]

I actually dont have a recipe for cinnamon rolls but I would prefer to make my own rather than get them from dixie diner.

[umpa]

I will work on it today.I will be back in the kitchen .

[beebs]

I have to remake the cinnamon rolls .I forgot to put the wheat gluten in so they came out more like little coffee cakes.They are good but i want cinnamon rolls, you have brainwashed me!

[beebs]

ROFL!! Where do you get wheat gluten? What is wheat gluten? is that a thickener?

[owensmath]

I bought a small cannister of yeast and a box of wheat gluten and have been waiting to read on here what to do with it! : )   BRING IT ON!

I use vital wheat gluten for my yeast to feed on so you can get alittle rise.Without the wheat gluten the yeast is useless.You will still get that yeasty taste like for dinner rolls, but they wont rise without the gluten. I made beebs cinnamon rolls yesterday and for got the wheat gluten so they were more like drakes coffee cakes!I used a flour blend for the first time I loved though it was one third protien powder which is a zero(like for shakes), one third hazelnut flour(8 arbs a cup), and one third almond flour(12 carbs a cup)They came out to about 1.5 carbs each..It really lightened the flours up.The soy protien powder is really cheap too.But it gave the bread a really nice flavor.i use soy flour sometimes but I try to stay away from it because its 20 carbs per cup unless I cut it with another flour, but the protien powder is a zero.

By protein powder, you mean what? Sorry to ask such a silly question, but I really want to learn as much as I can.

[umpa]

Soy protein powder is what you use to make protein shakes.(the bodybuilders made them popular)You can by it anywhere in a can or red mill sells it in a bag.It comes in flavored or unflavored.Its very cheap.Look at the diet section of walmart or in the diet section of the grocery store(sometimes organic).If you dont ask you will not learn.I have been doing this a long time and I havent given up anything just replaced ingredients!

[beebs]

I want hazelnut flower!>! Where do ya get that?

[umpa]

Hazelnut flower(hooked on phonics can work for you too!hehehehe)you can buy at amazon.com.I like the red mill brand.It makes delightful cookies.i tried it because Doug wanted pizzelles.The pizzelles didnt work, but it made wonderful cookie dough.I also make pound cake out of it.
